These topics describe how to run the conversion assistant.
Run the Oracle Reports to BI Publisher Conversion Assistant if the source report is an Oracle Reports RDF File.
You can also run the Oracle Reports to BI Publisher Conversion Assistant if the source report is in Oracle Reports XML format.
Oracle Reports to BI Publisher Conversion Assistant generates output files in your target directory for each converted report.
Generated output files include:
Report definition file (format: REPORT.xdo).
Zipped report definition file (for example: REPORT.xdoz).
Data model file that defines the data model (format: REPORT.xdm).
Zipped data model file (for example: REPORT.xdmz).
RTF Layout Template (for example: REPORT.rtf).
Default PL/SQL package specification (format: REPORTS.pls).
Default PL/SQL package body (format: REPORTB.pls).
Log files (format: REPORT.log).
For example, assume that you want to convert a report called invoice.rdf located in the source directory D:\reports\pay and you use Oracle Reports to BI Publisher Conversion Assistant to enter the target directory D:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice
.
The following output files are generated:
Report definition: C:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice\invoice.xdo\_report.xdo
Zipped report definition: C:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice\invoice.xdo\_report.xdoz
RTF layout template: C:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice\invoice.xdo\invoice.rtf
Data model: C:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice\invoice_template.xdm\_datamodel.xdm
Zipped data model C:\BIPublisher_reports\invoice\invoice_template.xdm\_datamodel.xdmz
PL/SQL package specification: C:\BIPublisher_reports\plsql_packages\invoice\invoiceS.pls
PL/SQL package body: C:\BIPublisher_reports\plsql_packages\invoice\invoiceB.pls
